I must have missed the constitution amendment process?

The Constitution says you have the right to bear arms and you do.
The Constitution says we all have the right to keep and bear arms.

Are you saying that right also extends to convicted felons, people
with serious mental health issues, alcoholics and drug addicts?
The Constitution does not exclude them.
But then again, a convicted felon forfeited some of his rights. Those with serious mental health
issues could easily be considered a danger to themselves and/or society. Alcoholics and drug
addicts? How would that he controlled. I doubt if AA or NA are going to provide lists of members.
And besides, members don't 'sign up' or register to be a member.

I don't know what the regs are in a loose state like Virginia, but in
Maryland if you are buying a firearm, you have to fill out a
questionnaire for the state police on which you state under criminal
penalties whether you are of legal age, whether you are engaging in a
straw purchase, whether you've been convicted of a crime of violence,
whether you've been convicted of a misdemeanor act of domestic violence,
whether you are the respondent in a protective order, whether you've
been committed to a mental institution, whether you are a habitual
drunkard, et cetera. Say yes to any of 'em and your app is denied and
you might get arrested.
Anyone here a heavy drinker?
Completion of the ATF Form 4473 is a requirement in Virginia. I would assume the same is true of
Maryland, as it's a Federal form. But who knows? Maryland may have its own form which asks the same
questions.
